Everyone who loves Football Manager has already taken on multiple roles in the game, managing a club and a national team – at the same time!
After Fernando Diniz, with Brazil and Fluminense, now it could be Michael O'Neill's turn to juggle jobs, Football Manager style!
The 56-year-old Northern Irish coach is about to take charge of Blackburn Rovers.
According to BBC Sport, O’Neill is expected to take over the Ewood Park club initially in a joint role until the end of the season.
If an agreement with the Irish Football Association is reached quickly, O'Neill could be in charge for the game this Saturday against Queens Park Rangers, in the English League Cup.
Northern Ireland faces Italy in a World Cup playoff semifinal in March and then Wales or Bosnia-Herzegovina in a final or friendly, depending on the result in Bergamo.
O'Neill is expected to be involved in both matches and, if Northern Ireland qualifies, he will be the coach at the World Cup.
If they are eliminated, he could immediately focus on Blackburn, who are currently in the relegation zone of the Championship, the English second division.
